Publication Ethics
Shared responsibilities for trustworthy aquaculture research and a reliable scholarly record.
Principles of responsible publication
JRA’s published ethics statement is based on COPE guidance and covers authors, reviewers, editors, and the publisher. Editorial decisions must reflect the validity and contribution of the work. Commercial interests must not influence acceptance decisions. Confidential information obtained during submission and review must be protected.
Responsibilities across the publication process
Authors
Present accurate methods and findings, acknowledge sources, disclose relevant interests, and secure agreement from all authors before submission.
Reviewers
Provide objective, evidence-based advice; protect confidentiality; disclose competing interests; and decline work outside their expertise or availability.
Editors
Assess work fairly, manage confidential review, and make decisions with regard to research validity, originality, and journal scope.
Publisher
Support the integrity of the journal and cooperate with editors and relevant parties in addressing publication concerns.
Ethical research & transparent reporting
- Identify ethical approval for research involving animal or human subjects. Explain relevant welfare safeguards and consent where applicable.
- Disclose unusual hazards associated with chemicals, equipment, or procedures.
- Report funding and the role of supporting organizations. Describe each author’s contribution and any competing interests.
- Retain underlying research records and be prepared to provide data for editorial evaluation, subject to legitimate ethical and confidentiality limits.
- Do not fabricate observations, manipulate results misleadingly, or submit substantially the same work to multiple journals simultaneously.
Raise a concern
Send a factual account to the editorial office. Identify the manuscript or article, include its DOI or submission ID, describe the issue, and provide supporting evidence. Avoid disclosing confidential or personal information beyond what is necessary for assessment.
Concerns about an editorial decision should explain the specific scientific or procedural issue. Indicate any conflict involving the person handling the matter so it can be addressed appropriately. Institutional questions may require cooperation with the relevant research organization.
